(Pretty picture of Wang Dong'er)
He thought it over and decided not to eat it on the bed.
He slipped into the Micro Restroom first, filled the big bathtub with warm water, and eased himself in.
Nice~
Eating a pill while soaking in a bath—that was the treatment a transmigrator deserved.
Lin Ye leaned against the side of the tub, fully aware of what was coming.
Once he took the Mystic Water Pill, his pores would be "shitting"!
All the grime in his body would come pouring out.
If he took it in bed, the bedding would be ruined by morning.
The bathtub was much more convenient. He could just rinse it all away.
He opened the Little White Bottle and tipped out a Mystic Water Pill.
The dark blue pill was cherry-sized, its surface covered in white patterns of varying shades.
The moment it emerged, a faint mist of water curled around it, and a fresh fragrance filled the air.
Just the smell alone made it seem expensive.
Lin Ye put the pill in his mouth. It dissolved at once, and a warm medicinal force slid down his throat into his stomach.
Then he closed his eyes, sank comfortably into the water, and fell into a deep sleep.
The medicinal force slowly spread through his body. His pores opened, and impurities began to seep out bit by bit...
The water in the bathtub gradually turned murky.
Meanwhile, in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Tang San had been beaten until he was a battered mess, his spirit body torn and bleeding, utterly pathetic.
He had never imagined that ten thousand years later, he would be tormented like this by a Man Faced Demon Spider.
Tang San gritted his teeth, his gaze vicious. "You've sealed your own doom!"
Ren Zhu brought her huge face close, nostrils flared, and grinned. "Sealed my own doom, huh?"
Faced with that savage-looking face, Tang San hurriedly shrank back.
"Still trying to dodge me?"
Ren Zhu's rough, broad hand grabbed Tang San by the chin and squeezed his mouth into an O.
"Let's see you dodge this—"
She took a deep breath.
"Hah!"
"Ptui—"
A glob of thick phlegm flew straight into Tang San's throat.
Tang San froze.
His eyes widened like copper bells.
His Adam's apple bobbed.
"Gulp."
Ren Zhu let go, planted her hands on her hips, and roared with laughter. "Hahahaha! Sea God? I spit on you!"
Tang San's face went from white to red, red to purple, and purple to black.
At last,
"Ugh... blech..."
He dropped to the ground and retched uncontrollably.
My illustrious reputation as Tang San...
And now, today...
Ren Zhu squatted down and patted his face. "Don't rush. We're only getting started."
Tang San couldn't stand this humiliation any longer.
His eyes were bloodshot, his breathing heavy as an ox's, and his spirit body trembled violently.
This wisp of divine consciousness had been recovering on the Douluo Continent for a day. He should have enough strength to unleash everything once!
"Break—!"
Boom—
The vines binding him snapped one by one, and a powerful shock wave exploded from Tang San!
Ren Zhu's spirit body stood right in front of him, completely unguarded, and took the full force of the blast.
She was instantly dazed, her eyes rolling back.
Her massive body swayed, then toppled straight forward.
Tang San had just begun to breathe a sigh of relief...
When Ren Zhu's huge face slammed into him.
Dead center.
Her thick, hippo-like lips landed squarely on Tang San's mouth.
Tang San's pupils shook.
Four lips met.
Time seemed to stop.
Ren Zhu was still unconscious and had no idea what was happening.
Tang San stood frozen, as if he'd turned to stone.
Tang San felt that not only his body but his very spirit had been violated.
He shoved Ren Zhu away, his spirit body trembling violently as humiliation coiled around him like a venomous snake.
But then his eyes changed.
Since this body's Spirit Sea has already opened itself to me...
Tang San's divine consciousness surged outward, invading the very core of Ren Zhu's sea of consciousness!
Ren Zhu jerked her head up, her expression changing abruptly from deranged to grim.
Her body trembled slightly, as if she were fighting for control.
But after just a few breaths, her eyes changed completely.
They turned cold, haughty, and contemptuous of all.
They were Tang San's eyes.
Tang San had taken control of the body of this hundred-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider that had taken human form.
He flexed his thick fingers, then lowered his gaze to his unfamiliar body, his face so grim it looked ready to drip water.
"I'll find out for myself—"
"What exactly happened?!"
Lin Ye woke at dawn.
The water in the bathtub had turned completely black, like a tub of thick ink, with a sheen of oil floating on its surface.
Good grief, that detoxification effect was intense.
He felt as if he'd been reborn, as though the muck had been scrubbed from the lotus root inch by inch. His whole body felt so light he could almost float.
He climbed out of the bathtub, rinsed himself clean, and watched the water rush away with the grime.
He could clearly feel the Mystic Water Pill's benefits...
His Soul Power had risen another level. He was at level nineteen now.
But that wasn't the important part.
The important thing was that his bladder qi sea had been cleansed.
The Samadhi True Fire had three flames: the heart was the sovereign fire (Upper-Flavor Divine Fire), the kidneys were the minister fire (Medium-Flavor Essence Fire), and the bladder qi sea was the people's fire (Lower-Flavor Qi Fire).
At that moment, a tiny flame flickered faintly inside his bladder qi sea.
Weak, but real.
The Lower-Flavor Qi Fire had appeared!
That meant he could now say he possessed one of the Samadhi True Fires!
Lin Ye's lips curled upward. He scrubbed the bathtub clean, got dressed, and left the Micro Restroom.
Wang Dong'er wasn't in the dorm. He had no idea when she'd left.
After the night's improvement, he was ravenous.
Lin Ye went to the cafeteria and polished off a meal meant for four.
He'd made quite a few Gold Soul Coins selling milk tea, so he paid with his head held high.
With his belly full, and plenty of time before class, Lin Ye decided to head back to the dorm and meditate for a while, consolidating the Soul Power that had surged overnight.
Getting stronger felt pretty great.
He left the cafeteria, walked around the Freshman Teaching Building, then headed east along the south side of Shrek Square. Before long, he reached the Lakeside Path.
He passed through the woods beside the path, and the sparkling Sea God Lake opened up before him.
Moist air mingled with a fresh breeze and washed over him.
The lake was blue—pure and gentle.
Ripples glimmered across the surface like a young girl's lively eyes, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, and the trees along the shore.
Lin Ye took a deep breath. His body felt light, and his mood was bright.
He had to admit, this place really was beautiful. No wonder the students liked wandering over to the lake in their free time.
It was enough to lift anyone's spirits.
He stretched, and his bones cracked twice.
How refreshing.
He looked toward the far end of the Sea God Lake. It was vast, larger than the main campus west of Shrek Square.
A haze hung over the distant water, and he could just make out the silhouettes of buildings.
That must be the Inner Court.
Lin Ye was still thinking when his gaze suddenly sharpened.
A red dot appeared in the mist over the lake.
It rapidly grew larger, coming into sharper focus!
It was a red figure, racing toward him at astonishing speed!
Only then did Lin Ye realize what was happening.
Oh, crap. It was Ma Xiaotao, out of control!
But the person standing here wasn't Huo Yuhao from the original story. It was him!
And he didn't have a single ice-attribute ability!
How was he, a mere One-Ring Soul Master, supposed to fight a rampaging Six-Ring Soul Emperor like Ma Xiaotao?
